* This Wiki documents the legacy Cumulus 1 in good detail due to many different contributors
* This Wiki documents the legacy Cumulus 1 in good detail due to many different contributors
* Steve Loft, and Mark Crossley, (plus others), modified some legacy pages to also cover the original [[Cumulus_3_(MX)_beta_documentation| MX 3.0.0 beta]], but that had very limited functionality (just a subset of that available in Cumulus 1) and only 2 new pages were added.
* Cumulus MX nowadays is different from the early MX beta; do you use/understand any of the new functionality meaning you can document it for those new to that functionality? Some of the early MX documentation has been deleted, and some pages make it clear that they apply to an earlier MX release.
* Most pages that are specific to legacy Cumulus 1 have been locked, to prevent editing for MX differences and to ensure they are preserved for those still using the legacy software (all pages relating to Cumulus 2 were removed by Steve Loft)
* MX offers much functionality.  Some pages use the '''<nowiki>{{Template:WorkInProgressBanner}}</nowiki>''' to indicate other contributors are needed to expand the current content
* <big>The MX of today, thanks to Mark Crossley leading development (with small contributions from others), is totally different from that early MX beta; do you use/understand any of the new functionality (not documented for legacy software) meaning you can document it for those new to that functionality?</big>
# MX has changed dramatically, therefore some of the early MX documentation has been deleted, and some pages make it clear that they apply to an earlier MX release.
# MX offers so much functionality, that nobody uses everything MX can do.  Some pages use the '''<nowiki>{{Template:WorkInProgressBanner}}</nowiki>''' to indicate other contributors are needed to expand the current content
